Note

• If you are adding other sugars (honey, turbinado, table sugar, agave), be sure to account for different PPGs.
• When flavoring with ingredients that include fermentables, add while yeast is finishing fermentation. Keep warm and allow for refermentation.
• If using fresh blueberries or mint, thoroughly wash before adding to the fermenter. If bottle conditioning, consider freezing the fruit or treating with campden tablets prior to adding to inhibit wild cultures.
